Bryan Oliver is the co-author of Effective Platform Engineering (Manning) and Designing Cloud Native Delivery Systems (O’Reilly). He has spent years in the Platform Engineering space through Thoughtworks. He is also an International Speaker, and a Thoughtworks Doppler Radar Co-Author and Committee member. He has been on the program committee for multiple Platform Engineering conferences and events, and contributes to open source via Kubernetes and Platform Working Groups. At Thoughtworks, he is now focused on building very large-scale Engineering Platforms for LLM training, using the latest GPUs such as GB200 and H100, in the thousands. This scale requires a platform engineering approach and architecture, but has many differences from our previous understanding of platforms (pre-gpu enabled).
